It doesn't compare with the drama of the World Cup and isn't as strong as the Grand Prix and Grand Chess Tour events, but the Karpov tournament in Poikovsky, Russia, is an impressive and interesting event in its own right. The lineup includes stars like Alexander Morozevich, Alexei Shirov and Anton Korobov (all very dynamic players) representing 2700dom, and there are a number of former (and possibly future) 2700s participating as well. The current leader is among the group of former 2700s: Emil Sutovsky, who won a pair of crazy (but not clean) games with White in the first two rounds.
